1.

Position the pulley in line with the brake pedal arm's

direction of travel — see Figure 2. 

2.

If possible, always install the brake pedal clamp as

shown in ‘Preferred Method' in Figure 3, with the slot 
in the L-shaped clamp toward the driver's side door, 
and with the bend in the L-shaped brake pedal clamp 
closest to the firewall. 

  If there are obstructions or other constraints which

prevent this, the two sections of the brake pedal clamp 
can be attached in the following ways… 

 

With the slot in the L-shaped clamp (Figure 3) on

either side of the brake pedal arm.

With the slot rotated toward the firewall or away

from it (Figure 3).

  Additionally, you can further adjust the position of 

the clamp by using different attachment holes:

 

The clamp is attached with bolts through two of

the five pre-drilled holes (Figure 3). You can move the 
clamp forward or backward on the brake pedal arm by 
using different attachment holes.

Additionally, you can trim a portion of the clamp: 

 

If more clearance is necessary, you can trim a

portion of the clamp, once you have decided which 
two of the pre-drilled holes you will use to attach the 
clamp.
  

Note: InvisiBrake will operate most efficiently with 

the clamp as low as possible on the brake pedal arm. 
This will generate maximum leverage when InvisiBrake 
is activated. Therefore, position the clamp as far down 
the brake pedal arm as possible, without interfering 
with the normal operation of the vehicle. 

  Always mount the pulley in line with the brake 
pedal's direction of travel, and always mount the 
brake pedal clamp as low as possible on the brake 
pedal arm. Otherwise, there will not be enough lev-
erage for InvisiBrake to apply the brakes proper-
ly. 

This will negate the benefits of the supplemental 

braking system. 

Make certain that no part of the clamp inter-

shown to the right. 
Property damage, 
personal injury or 
even death may 
occur if the brake 
pedal cannot be 
operated at its full 
range.

cessible, to an appropriate power source which will be 
energized when towing). Since the harness is 15 feet 
long, the mounting location should be within 15 feet of 
the battery (or power source).
  Position the controller at the mounting location you 
have chosen, but 

do not attach it 

— it will be easier 

to connect the wiring, air line and vacuum line with the 
controller loose.
